I need to lose 35 pounds. what to eat and what should I not eat?

[nooriginality]

i used to be 180 lbs and cut down to 130 in 3 months by eating small portions, but lots of meals

so i would eat 6 meals a day, but i would (for example) eat half a sandwich instead of a whole one, i also ate different types of meat and fruit.

no beef or chicken. buffalo, and assortments of fish

i would eat a lot of apple peels and yogurt (be sure it tastes sour and is not to creamy)

and before going to bed i would take a papaya pill. the whole bottle was like $8.50 and you can buy it at walmart and target

its not very hard, you just have to trick your body into rejecting extremely sugary things. after the 3 months were over i couldn't even eat a whole tub of ice cream any more.

[MTL_GUY78]

But I'm a man and big so I'm more hungry than yiu

[nooriginality]

honey, im 5'9 and the sandwich thing was an example. i obviously ate more then half a sandwich. why do you think i suggested buffalo meat? low in fat high in protein. oh! try to avoid tofu. it would make your hormones go nuts and you won't be able to lose weight as fast

[TheCUTEowl]

Eat pineapple, pineapple and apples are fat burning!!!
Include these into a low calorie diet, around 1600 calories a day, you will lose weight!!
Of course exercise helps to, if you don't like exercise try go for a walk every day. 1 hour walking burns between 250 to 300 calories!!

[Boinapalli]

Continue with whatever you are eating. Limit your potion size, number of servings and slowly incorporate loads of veggies, fruits and nuts. Remove or limit the calorie rich foods like deep fried snacks, french fries, cakes, ..

Use a calorie tracker like the "myfitnesspal" or "livestrong" to help you.

All the best.

[MTL_GUY78]

Thanks so much

[Bluemax]

Don't eat so much marbleized meat. Fish is good in that regard. Lean protein. Egg beaters are good in the morning. Find a vegie you can tolerate (that's difficult for me) and eat it. Eat fruits.

Good to see you deciding to turn over a new leaf.

[MTL_GUY78]

Good ideas but sounds boring

[Bluemax]

Alas, sometimes dieting can be that way. I would suggest exercise, too.

[AndyWes]

Avoid drinking sodas and fruit juice and such, or do so sparingly. Try to drink lots of water only--it can really cut a ton of calories out of your diet.

Also avoid as much bread, sugar, and prepared foods as possible.

So basically, high protein stuff like meat, protein bars, eggs, like that.

[Drooogie4]

Do: lots of water, veggies, fruit, lean protein, fiber. Just generally natural , nutritious stuff
Don't: processed foods, excess sugar, soda. Cutting out soda makes a crazy difference.

[MTL_GUY78]

I hate water with a passion

[Drooogie4]

You can get flavor to help encourage it... Look at the mio or crystalite drink enhancers?
Water is necessary. Hydration is the basis of general health

[kheserthorpe]

Eat a lot of lean protein and fibrous vegetables.

Eat some carbs based on your energy needs and desired weight loss pace. Primarily slow carbs.

Eat very little refined sugar or processed food.

[MTL_GUY78]

I have to eat processed food cuz I don't cook

[kheserthorpe]

you're gonna cook. Easy tasty stuff. The processed diet food is crap and leaves you hungry and is made for what women think dieting is.

What health issues do you have if any that impact your dietary needs?

What's your activity level?

Do you buy your own food? Do you eat at home or out?

[MTL_GUY78]

I'm losing weight to get a gf

[kheserthorpe]

Nice. When I'm done you will be able to invite her over for dinner too :p

Do you like fish? Do you like chicken? Do you like pork? Do you like steak?

Do you like eggs? Omelettes? Do you like salads? What vegetables do you like?

[MTL_GUY78]

When you're done I'll be able to invite her over too dinner too? What does that mean?

[kheserthorpe]

You will be able to cook dinner :p.

It's a good excuse for an at home date 3 or so.

[Anonymous]

Eat: lean protein, tons of veggies without ranch or other bad fats, moderate fruit and good fats. High fiber.

Don't: fast food, chips, booze, candy, cookies, cake, soda, juice

Those Eat This, Not That books give good advice.

[MTL_GUY78]

I like c ream y dressing.I'm not Going to eat that vinegar crap

[Opinion Owner]

It'll keep you fat! Look up recipes with Greek yogurt and seasonings. Eat mustard instead of mayo on sandwiches. Etc.

[MTL_GUY78]

I'd rather die happy than eat like a hamster

[Opinion Owner]

There are lots of good things to eat. All the stuff I put on the "don't" list is artificial and poisonous to our bodies. Why do you ask questions just to tell yourself you can't do anything? Start making some small changes, man. If you're unhappy, nothing will change til you do.

[relax24]

I didn't think orange/mango juice was that bad

[Opinion Owner]

Juice just has a high calorie and sugar count. The actual fruit is better. If you really crave juice, mixing it with water helps.

[NoblesseOblige]

Bro, listen to me and no one else. Just eat less. The easiest way is to fast on the weekend and only eat dinner on those days.

[superflysam]

Great advice

[NoblesseOblige]

BRO, you can eat whatever the fuck you want, just eat less calories!

[MTL_GUY78]

You don't have to swear at me sis

[NoblesseOblige]

LOL! cheeky bastard! :)

[MTL_GUY78]

What?

[NoblesseOblige]

Funny bastard :)

[MTL_GUY78]

Why are you calling me such a horrible name? It's not my fault I don't have a father

[NoblesseOblige]

Oh. I didn't mean the real bastard. I just call people that. Sorry lol.

[MTL_GUY78]

I don't like swear words

[MTL_GUY78]

If you were sorry you wouldn't go lol.. people overuse that lol way too much. Especially women

[NoblesseOblige]

You know I'm a guy right?

[NoblesseOblige]

And you seriously grew up without a dad?

[MTL_GUY78]

Sorry I thought you were a girl cuz of the pic..yes why? Is that a crime?

[NoblesseOblige]

No, that just sucks. It explains why your personality is the way it is.

[MTL_GUY78]

My personality is fine. Just going through a rough time j just like everyone is. I grew up in a loving home

[NoblesseOblige]

Loving sure, but a boy needs a male influence or else he grows up weak.

[MTL_GUY78]

I had a male influence. . who ever said I was weak

[NoblesseOblige]

Who?

[MTL_GUY78]

My grandfather

[NoblesseOblige]

Cool.

[VENOMMM]

cut down on the carbs big time and eat everything else in moderation

[PowerpuffJohnnyBravo]

Low carbs, Low sodium for starting. These guys are tellin you diet when you are "in" the game and yea, cardio too bro

[JohnDough303]

eat more protein

eat less carbs

drink cold water

[MTL_GUY78]

How many grams of carbs should be my limit

[JohnDough303]

when I did my keto "diet" I limited myself to 40 carbs a day.. it sucks and you feel low energy but it works.. I was able to go from 185-168 in 30 days and no exercise... you'll lose lots of water weight and fat with this eating method... but don't forget the high protein! and fat is good too! things like nuts, sees, eggs, meats are ur friend!

[MTL_GUY78]

I need energy for my job

[JohnDough303]

you'll be fine. im a coinstruction worker... wake up at 4 in the morning every day and don't get home until almost 4... if I can do it so can u bro! chin up! =]

[MTL_GUY78]

I can't

[JohnDough303]

"i can't" is a great attitude that will get you very far in life.

[MTL_GUY78]

[Stark]

Lots of diets on the net, try low carb low dairy

[anthonypm]

SAUNA, SWIM, CARDIO. NO LATE EATING.
